    Did you really have too???
    Jesus, just as I was wiping the drool from my chin from the pics of the new car, you had to throw in a rendition of a challenge car???
    Note to self...sell EVERYTHING to get a 458 Challenge car!!!!!!!!!!
    AMAZING!!!!
    BTW, I noticed the Michelin's rather than Bridgestones'... Do you know something we don't???

    Taking a step up from a Challenge car. Will Ferrari build a GT2 version of this car or possibly go for the new GT1 rules for the FIA GT championship. I believe that Stephane Ratel was expected one more major manufacturer to commit to the new regs?

    On a wet track recently there were lots of spins and damage done to the Challenge cars. I doubt the 458 with more power will be any easier to handle and amateurs taking corners at 175MPH is a scary thought for a 'fun series'.

    I can't recall a new model receiving as much praise as this since the F40! :) I think the 458 will be a hit in any configuration and I especially can't wait for the Stradale/Scuderia version. The Challenge rendering above is about as sick as it gets and hopefully the street (light weight) version of it will be as sexy!

    Thanks for both interpretations guys. Both are very attractive and certainly add to my anticipation to one day see the real thing!
